John Williams Won't Return to Score "Jurassic World"

It’s impossible to forget John Williams’ iconic score for Steven Spielberg’s Jurassic Park, but you’ll have to prepare your ears for something different when Jurassic World hits theaters next year. According to Coming Soon, Michael Giacchino will be replacing Williams on the movie’s score, and so far there is no word on whether or not the original Jurassic Park themes will still be used in World.

Giacchino is best known for his work on movies like Up, Super 8, Ratatouille, The Incredibles, and both recent Star Trek movies. He’s also providing the scores for the upcoming blockbusters Dawn of the Planet of the Apes and Jupiter Ascending.

His work has been great so far, but we don’t envy him for having to replace a legend. Hopefully Giacchino will be able to provide audiences with something as memorable as this.
